2/6/2024 Had a terrific lunch at Delizie Ristorante Bar in Mission Viejo. Raul was our amazing server and is so professional, kind, and attentive. We started with drinks, bread, and the minestrone soup, which were fantastic. The day was wet and rainy as we enjoyed the warmth and ambiance of the restaurant. Raul took our entree order, and my wife ordered the salmon with veggies and roasted potatoes, and I had the eggplant with a side of meatballs and Italian sausage. The food was very good, as was the customer service. We finished with spumoni and coffee. So good! Highly recommended
Previous visit Had a wonderful evening at Delizie Ristorante. Raul was our server as was simply amazing, and Eric "Goku" was assisting with the delivery of the appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Both of these men have excellent customer service skills, and the chef specials and overall dining experience were superb. The soup and salad were perfect, as were the wine choices.
The salmon entree and shrimp and scallops linguine entree were presented well and tasted that much better. Raul was very attentive, personable, and very professional. Eric "Goku" was working hard all night and provided stellar service besides being very respectful and professional. The vibe was very positive, and the hostesses were professional, friendly, and accommodating. Highly recommended.
The food we had was very good. I had Occo Buco special and it came with risotto. Very good flavor and generous portion. The other three in the group had various pastas and they were all very good. Asked for the side of asparagus and it was charred nicely. A star was lost on service because I asked for olive oil for the bread but never got it. At an Italian restaurant it should always be on the table or they should ask when you are seated. Lower stars for atmosphere is not a bad thing, I prefer my money on the plate vs the wall.
